Centrifuge assets go live on X Layer, expanding DeFi access to tokenized Treasuries and CLOs
RWA Signal Insight
U.S. TreasuriesCentrifuge has expanded its real-world asset tokenization platform to X Layer, the Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain developed by OKX. This integration introduces two institutional-grade products, deJTRSY and deJAAA, which provide exposure to short-duration US Treasuries and AAA-rated collateralized loan obligations, respectively. By launching on X Layer, Centrifuge gains access to a massive ecosystem of over 120 million users and a stablecoin supply exceeding $2 billion. The deployment follows a strategic partnership between Centrifuge and OKX’s Exchange OS, designed to streamline infrastructure sharing across different blockchain networks. Since its inception in 2017, Centrifuge has facilitated over $1.3 billion in tokenized assets, collaborating with major financial institutions like Apollo and S&P Dow Jones Indices. The expansion into Para-powered wallets in August 2026 further reduces friction for users seeking to interact with these yield-bearing instruments. This move highlights the intensifying competition in the RWA sector as protocols vie for institutional capital alongside established players like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton.

Background
Centrifuge is a decentralized finance protocol that enables the tokenization of real-world assets, allowing them to be used as collateral in on-chain lending markets. It provides the infrastructure for issuers to bridge traditional financial assets, such as invoices and corporate debt, onto public blockchains to unlock liquidity.
